Hornady Custom ammunition delivers the precision and performance of handloaded rounds in a factory-loaded cartridge. This .218 Bee load features a 45-grain hollow point bullet optimized for varmint and small game hunting at ranges up to 200 yards. With a muzzle velocity of 2,750 feet per second and 756 foot-pounds of energy, it provides excellent expansion and terminal performance on prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and similar-sized targets.
The .218 Bee is a classic rimmed cartridge originally introduced by Winchester in 1937 for the Model 65 rifle. Each round of Hornady Custom ammunition is hand-inspected before packaging to ensure the highest levels of quality control. Premium brass cases deliver consistent performance and can be reloaded for extended use.
